    I live in Orem, but am from St. George originally.

    I'll go ahead and give a little introduction about myself. The main two lines I collect are vintage Star Wars and Transformers. I just finished my set of loose vintage Star Wars figures this year with Blue Snaggletooth and Yakface. I have now been moving my focus to the original POTF coins. I still have about 20 left of the 62.

    I have been collecting Transformers for about 5 years now and mainly reissues. My first reissue was New Year's Optimus Prime. I have almost all of the Hasbro reissues and most of the Takara ones that Hasbro never released.

    Here is a somewhat recent picture of my Transformers display.

    Yeah it is very rare I find anything there Transformers or Star Wars. Most of the time I try to hit the Lindon one. They seem to get a lot more stock and better organized.

    Welcome welcome tranzfan :D  We are slowly growing our ranks here in Utah, Yay!

    So you collect Star Wars and Transformers, do you collect the Star Wars Transformers?

    Good to here the MPSS is getting available here in Utah county. I totally agree with iheartarcee, the Orem Wallys just sucks, but it's on the way to TRU for me, so I usually stop there anyways. The Lindon one can be this little gem since it is away from the freeway.

    Do you have a want list you care to share, I think we've done well here in utah so far for keeping an eye out for stuff we know people want.

    Nice collection you got there. I need to get the longer pipes for my MP Prime, and one of these days I need to get Unicron...*sigh* (do Robot Heroes count?)

    Well I'm over in Lehi, iheartarcee is down here, and the rest of the utah crew are in Salt Lake n Davis counties. So the wasatch front is pretty well covered. Now that you know we are here, don't be a stranger!

    From what I hear is going on down here, I don't think that you'll have much trouble getting him when he hits the shelves. He is being stocked in much higher volumes than the Leader classes, even though he's $10 more. He just has to get there. Patience my young Padawan...

    Thanks for the welcome. You would think Star Wars Transformers would be a sure thing for me since I collect both lines, but for some reason they just don't do it for me.

    As far as a want list goes I really haven't been collecting a whole lot of modern items this year. The only movie figures I picked up was the evolution of a hero Bumblebee set at Target and then my major want was MP Starscream. I am anxiously awaiting for my Ironhide and Ratchet reissues to ship next month.

    This year with Star Wars I have only been collecting the concept figures. I picked up a concept Snowtrooper recently, but am still looking for the concept Starkiller, Han Solo, and Rebel Trooper.

    I sold off quite a bit of my modern Star Wars a couple of years ago to help fund some vintage purchases. I did go a little crazy with the Episode 3 stuff though when it was released. Because of lack of space it is kept in boxes at my parents house in St. George.

    Here is my current setup though with my vintage stuff if anyone is interested.

    Unicron! Me too!

    Unicron is actually next on my wish list. I always wanted a Unicron toy when I was a kid but when he finally became available I was out of the TF scene. Maybe we can find a sweet two for one deal and split the cost :D .
